The Gospel this week, from John 15, is some of Father Mattingly's favorite verses in the bible. What do the vine and the branches have to do with you today? How can you abide and remain in the Christ? Father Mattingly gives several practical ways to abide in the Lord, and the fruit that will come when you do! 

Father Andrew Mattingly is a priest for the Diocese of Kansas City – St. Joseph. He is currently the associate pastor at Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, as well as the diocesan director for young adults and campus ministry.
